Arizona Cardinals' JJ Watt probably had the best NFL week of this season. The defensive end and his wife welcomed home their first child, sharing the sweet moment with followers on social media. Posing over a hospital bed, Watt seemed emotional and happy at the same time.
While Watt has consistently posted about his family and personal life on social media, not everyone is aware of the details. The couple have been together for some time. His wife, soccer star Kealia Ohai Watt, is always present to cheer JJ Watt on.
They named their child Koa James Watt, who was born on October 23, 2022. While they did not provide regular updates and milestones in the lead up to the birth of the child, like some do, the couple did announce the pregnancy in June.
Like the NFL star, Kealia is an athlete in her own right. The 30-year-old is a popular soccer player and has earned recognition for the same.
She has been playing the sport for a long time, and teamed up with the National Women's Soccer League in 2014. Furthermore, Kealia has also represented the USA for many years.
Her career started with the NCAA, where she was a star athlete with the University of North Carolina.
Two years ago, in 2020, the Utah native signed with the Chicago Red Stars. She has also played with the Houston Dash.
How did JJ Watt and Kealia Ohai Watt meet? Relationship timeline
As per reports, the couple started dating in 2016. However, they publicly revealed their relationship only in 2017.
Kealia's brother-in-law Brian Cushing inadvertently revealed their relationship, despite trying to keep it under wraps. They were also spotted on multiple date nights, enjoying their time together. They got engaged in 2019.
They tied the knot on February 15, 2020 at the The Ocean Club, a Four Seasons Resort in the Bahamas. The venue was called Versailles Gardens, choosing 'details of the 12th-century cloister' as their backdrop.
With the 2022 season going on, one can only expect more updates and photos from both Kealia and JJ Watt.
